Family-friendly community events and destinations in Toronto’s East End

Community Connections

Pink and purple stylized letter 'L' logo with surrounding text reading 'Parent, Educator, Mom, Friend, Mini, Self-Care, Support, Connecting, Up' in a circular pattern on a peach background.

Staying on top of everything there is to do and everywhere there is to go in this city as the parent or caregiver of a tiny human (or two or three) can feel impossible sometimes. Hopefully this calendar will introduce you to some new events, community resources, and family-friendly destinations in Toronto’s east end.

Here you’ll find community events, EarlyON highlights, baby and kid-friendly City of Toronto recreation and Toronto Public Library programs, and East End Mom Friends events organized by us.
